Electric energy is supplied to each configuration for the input position detection device 100 that electric energy is needed to supply, tool by power supply unit 130 It says body, electric energy is provided, electric field can be formed so as to the transmitting element 143 of touch sensor 145.
When user inputs finger touch input on the touchscreen or electronic pen inputs, sensor 145 will be from its input bit The electric signal output of detection is put to controller 160.
Power supply unit 130 powers to form electric field to transmitting element 143, and during operation, the change of electric field causes telecommunications Number generation.It should be noted that electric signal is used as the standard for determining whether TSP is touched.That is, as after explain in detail that Sample, device can determine whether TSP is touched by the change of sensing electric signals.Electric signal is sent to by transmitting element 143 to be connect Receive unit 141.Here, from transmitting element 143 export electric signal be defined as internal signal, wherein, internal signal refer to from The signal that transmitting element 143 is sent.Receiving unit 141 receives what the change based on the electric field formed by transmitting element 141 generated Electric signal.In addition, receiving unit 141 can receive electricity by the electric field that the external source by input position detection device 100 is formed Signal.Therefore, the electric signal received by receiving unit from external source is referred to as external signal.That is, received in receiving unit 143 Among electric signal, the electric signal for carrying out sending unit 143 is internal signal, and the electric signal from electronic pen is external signal.
If there is finger touch input, then the interference of signal transmission occurs.It inputs, then believes if there is electronic pen The increase of number intensity.In order to find touch point, the present invention is changed using these signals.The present invention attempts to be exclusively used in electricity not adding In the case of the additional magnetic sheet or additional sensors of sub- pen, the position of identification touch input is realized.
Wave filter 150 performs the function that the multiple electric signals received by receiving unit 141 are classified according to frequency.By The signal sent by transmitting element 143 is not only received in receiving unit 141(That is, internal signal)And it receives and is examined from input position The signal that the external source of measurement equipment 100 is sent(That is, external signal), therefore, can be by when controller detects multiple signals The input position and input method that the signal detected is classified to identify each signal.Being explained in detail as after, root Frequency according to the multiple signals received by receiving unit 141 enables controller 160 to distinguish by the signal that wave filter 150 is classified Input is finger touch input or electronic pen input or can determine whether input is performed by electronic pen input.In addition, Wave filter 150 is supplied in response to the electric energy from power supply unit 130 electric signal being sent to transmitting element 143.That is, wave filter 150 are filtered the signal with specific frequency using the electric energy from power supply unit 130.
Exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, each element of 160 control input location detecting apparatus 100 of controller it Between signal processing and electric energy supply operation, to detect the coordinate of input position.Controller 160 is based in touch sensor The electric signal detected on 145 determines the type of the input method on touch-screen and input position.
More particularly, controller 160 detects hand by the change of the intensity of the electric signal received in receiving unit 141 Refer to touch input.
If there is no finger touch input, then the intensity of internal signal is kept constant, this is because according to controller 160 Control, be supplied to by wave filter 150 from power supply unit 130 transmitting element 143 electric energy intensity have preset value.
If there is finger touch input, then the uniform electric field formed between transmitting element 143 and receiving unit 141 leads to Cross finger part leakage.That is, a small amount of charge is attracted to the point of contact.Positioned at the every nook and cranny of panel circuit measuring charge simultaneously Controller is will send information to for processing via receiving unit 141.
As a result, compared with finger touch situation about not being entered, the electric signal that is received by receiving unit 141 Intensity become smaller.Here, when such strength information is sent to controller 160 by receiving unit 141, controller can be based on electricity The decline of the strength information of signal determines executed finger touch input.In addition, controller 160 can be by detecting receiving unit 141 position come determine user input finger touch coordinate, wherein, at the position of receiving unit 141, receiving unit 141 The intensity of electric signal become less than internal signal.
On the other hand, transmitting element 141 and receiving unit 143 can configure grate type touch sensor in touch sensing On device 145, so as to which controller 160 can learn input coordinate based on grate type coordinate system.For example, receiving unit 141 can with Put that a plurality of pickup wire of the transverse axis of grate type touch sensor is corresponding, and transmitting element 143 is touched with being configured with grate type The a plurality of pickup wire for touching the longitudinal axis of sensor is corresponding.Controller 160, which can determine, uses which axis conduct horizontally and vertically to connect Receive unit 141 or transmitting element 143.Therefore, controller 160 can control transmitting element 143 to work as receiving unit 141, this Outside, controller 160 can control receiving unit 141 to work as transmitting element 143.
When the intensity of the electric signal received by receiving unit 141 from multiple points of touch sensor is less than internal signal During intensity, controller 160 can determine that finger touch input is present on multiple points.In addition, when controller 160 detects electric signal Intensity successively be less than internal signal intensity when, controller 160 can determine click action and drag action, in click action In, the translational speed of touch location is more than preset threshold speed, and in drag action, the translational speed of touch location, which is less than, to be preset Critical speed.
As described above, the touch input detection of the present invention is usually using capacitance cover type touch sensor.However, according to this The introduction of invention, the configuration for detecting the equipment of touch input detection are not excluded for including touch sensor(Such as resistance covers Formula sensor and infrared beams sensor)Or the situation of pressure sensor.
Memory 170 may include controller 160;However, it can be fabricated in individually configuration.Memory 170 can be deposited Storage in order to necessary to operation input location detecting apparatus 100 with various basic operating systems and various user functions are corresponding counts According to or application and algorithm.
Memory 170 stores to adjust the program of signal detection frequency.For example, memory 170 can increase adjacent domain Interior signal detection frequency simultaneously reduces the signal detection frequency outside adjacent domain.
On the other hand, input method is not limited to above-mentioned finger touch by input position detection device 100 of the invention Input.User may use active touch control pen or passive stylus to the equipment of the present invention(Or touch input)The two.It is active Electronic pen is the electronic pen for sending signal to equipment by electronic pen using electromagnetic induction to be operated, passive stylus or Non-active pen is inputted including finger.By describe in the description of fig. 2 present invention introduces active pen detailed description.
Fig. 2 shows each element of the above-mentioned input position detection device 100 of exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.This Outside, Fig. 3 A are the diagrams for the finger touch input and electronic pen input for showing exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.Fig. 3 B are The letter being shown as between the finger touch input of the input method of exemplary embodiment according to the present invention and electronic pen input Number intensity difference diagram.
With reference to Fig. 2, touch sensor 145 includes the grid that multiple horizontal pickup wires intersect at a right angle with multiple vertical pickup wires Lattice type of touch sensor.Receiving unit 141 is arranged in transverse axis, and transmitting element 143 is arranged in the longitudinal axis.Controller 160 can Changed by using switch control by the operation change of transmitting element 143 to receiving unit 141 or by the operation of receiving unit 141 Change to transmitting element 143.In addition, controller 160 can selectively detect finger touch input and electronics according to the setting of user Pen input.When indicating that controller 160 only detects electronic pen input in the setting in user, all biographies of touch sensor are configured Sensor line can work as receiving unit 141.As shown in Figure 1, touch sensor 145 includes receiving unit 141 and transmitting element 143, but it is without being limited thereto.Receiving unit 141 and transmitting element 143 can be configured in separate modules.
Hereinafter, if there is finger touch input as shown in Figure 3A, then the member of Fig. 2 of detection input position is performed The operation of part is as follows.
Controller 160 controls the processing that electric energy is supplied to wave filter 150 by power supply unit 130.Then, wave filter 150 using electric energy production predeterminated frequency electric signal and the electric signal of generation is supplied to transmitting element 143.By the processing, Uniform electric field is formed between transmitting element 143 and receiving unit 141.Here, electric signal is sent to reception by transmitting element 143 Unit 141.Before finger touch, electric signal keeps the preset value of the constant intensity of charge.If it produces in such a state Finger contact input 310 is given birth to, then charge leakage occurs for the point in contact or charge will decline.Here, power supply unit 130 passes through Electric energy is supplied to vertical pickup wire and horizontal pickup wire using switch, this enables controller 160 to check each coordinate in real time The intensity of the charge of axis is declined with detecting whether to occur charge leakage or charge.Detection in this way, controller 160 can determine Finger touch input 310 has generated.In addition, controller 160 can the transmitting element 143 based on configuration grate type touch sensor With the coordinate position of receiving unit 141, examined by verifying the position of the intensity of electric signal reduced by finger touch input 310 Survey input position.That is, the circuit measuring charge positioned at the every nook and cranny of panel decline and will send information to controller for It is later determined that touch the processing of the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of activation.
Therefore, when multiple finger touch inputs 310 occur, controller 160 can also identify finger in the same way The generation of touch input 310 and their input position.Meanwhile controller 160 can identify passive touch-control in the same way The generation of pen input simultaneously detects its input position.Even if it is defeated that finger touch occurs together in input position detection device 100 Enter the input of 310 and passive stylus, controller 160 also performs detection operation.
Next, when there are during the input of the electronic pen of Fig. 3 A, the operation of the element of Fig. 2 of execution detection input position is such as Under.
It should be noted that general active electronic pen uses electromagnetic induction, however, the electronic pen 200 of the present invention sends electric field Active electronic pen.Since the location detecting apparatus 100 of the present invention is not equipped with using with reference to the active electronic pen 200 of the present invention Magnetic sheet, therefore the active electronic pen of the present invention includes generating the individual power supply unit of electric field.That is, according to the disclosure, Active electronic pen may include built-in power.
With reference to Fig. 2, electronic pen 200 forms electric field between the receiving unit 141 of location detecting apparatus 100.Here, do not examine Whether uniform consider the electric field generated by active electronic pen.Electronic pen 200 generates electric signal using electric field and sends electric signal To receiving unit 141.That is, the change of electric field generates electric signal.Controller 160 controls wave filter 150 so that electric signal can have The value of specific frequency.
The electric signal received by receiving unit 141 from transmitting element 143 keeps the peak value of pre-set constant amplitude.
In other words, receiving unit 141 is received while the peak value of amplitude is kept constant in location detecting apparatus 100 Portion's electric signal.When there are during electronic pen input 320, electric signal is sent to reception list by both transmitting element 143 and electronic pen 200 Member 141.Receiving unit 141 receives electric signal from electronic pen 200.Electronic pen 200 can be driven or passed through certainly by built-in power unit External power supply drives.For example, external power supply can be provided by the USB port, RFID or NFC of computer.Electronics in the present invention Pen includes RF transmitters and antenna.RF transmitters generate electric field, the radiogenic electric field of antenna.Electronic pen may include nib, pressure Force snesor, power supply unit and button.Therefore, receiving unit 141 receives the electric signal sent by transmitting element 143(Inside letter Number)With the electric signal sent by electronic pen 200(External signal)The two.
As a result, when there are during electronic pen input 320, the intensity of the electric signal received by receiving unit 141 is big The intensity of the electric signal received in the case of no electronic pen input 320 by receiving unit 141.This is the opposite of following phenomenon Phenomenon:The intensity of the electric signal received by receiving unit 141 become than there are during finger touch input 310 by receiving unit 141 The intensity of the electric signal of reception is small.Even if there are during multiple electronic pens input 320, controller 160 can also be with same side Formula learns the generation of multiple electronic pen inputs 320 and multiple input position.
In addition, in the presence of finger touch input 310 and electronic pen input 320 both, controller 160 can pass through detection Each input is detected by the intensity of 141 received signal of receiving unit.When the electricity that any point in receiving unit 141 receives When the intensity of signal is less than the intensity of the internal signal sent by transmitting element 143, controller 160 determines finger touch input 310 are present in the point.On the other hand, the intensity of the electric signal received when any point in receiving unit 141 is more than by sending out When sending the intensity of the internal signal of the transmission of unit 143, controller 160 determines that electronic pen input 320 is present in the point.
Therefore, even if when multiple input occurs, controller 160 also can detect each input and their input position. Meanwhile when the intensity of electric signal of the intensity with being received by receiving unit 141 of the internal signal sent by transmitting element 143 is identical When, controller 160 is not it is believed that finger touch input 310 and electronic pen input 320 occur.
In addition, the controllable configuration receiving unit 141 of grate type touch sensor of controller 160 and transmitting element 143 Function.In addition, controller 160 can selectively detect finger touch input 310 and electronic pen input according to the setting of user 320.When controller 160 only detects electronic pen input according to the setting of user, the pickup wire for configuring touch sensor can be only It works as receiving unit 141.In this case, the internal signal sent by transmitting element 143 is not present, this is because not Exist that serve as the pickup wire of transmitting element 141.Therefore, when receiving unit 141 receives the electric signal for being better than preset strength, Controller can detect input position rather than perform by the intensity of internal signal with by the strong of 141 received signal of receiving unit Spend the process being compared.
Fig. 3 B are to show being inputted according to finger touch input 310 or electronic pen for exemplary embodiment according to the present invention 320 by 141 received signal of receiving unit intensity difference diagram.

In the left side view of Fig. 3 B bar chart maximum represent in the case where finger touch input 310 occurs by The intensity for the internal signal that transmitting element 143 generates.On the other hand, in the right side view of Fig. 3 B, the minimum value table of bar chart Show the intensity of the internal signal generated in the case where electronic pen input 320 occurs by transmitting element 143.
Left diagram and right diagram with reference to Fig. 3 B, controller 160 is along respectively as configuration grate type horizontally and vertically The transmitting element 143 of touch sensor and the line of receiving unit 141 perform the detection operation of electric signal successively.Controller 160 is controlled Internal signal is sent in sequence to the line of receiving unit 141 with uniform strength by the First Line of transmitting element 143 processed.Next, control Device 160 processed controls the second line of transmitting element 143 that internal signal is sent in sequence to the line of receiving unit 141 with uniform strength. The line of receiving unit 141 is interacted with right angle with the line of transmitting element 143.After the process is repeated, controller 160 can pass through inspection The x-axis of survey grate type touch sensor and the intensity of the signal of y-axis learn the intensity of the signal of each touch sensor coordinate.
The left diagram of Fig. 3 B shows the point from generation finger touch input 310 by receiving unit 141(Point A)With there are fingers The intensity for the electric signal that the periphery of the point of touch input 310 receives.Here, controller 160, which detects, is occurring finger touch input With close to corresponding point when 310(Point A)The electric signal of the intensity value of intensity with less than internal signal.
The right diagram of Fig. 3 B shows the point from generation electronic pen input 320 by receiving unit 141(Point B)With there are electronic pens The intensity for the electric signal that the periphery of the point of input 320 receives.Here, when there are during electronic pen input 320, controller 160 can be examined Survey the intensity of signal, in the intensity of the signal, the existing internal signal and the intensity phase of external signals that sent by electronic pen 200 Add.Controller 160 is detected when electronic pen input 320 occurs with close to corresponding point(Point B)With more than internal signal Intensity intensity value electric signal.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart for the input position detection method for showing exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.Reference Fig. 4, Controller 160 detects the intensity (410) by 141 received signal of receiving unit.This is represented by 141 received signal of receiving unit Intensity and internal signal intensity it is different.
Here, the telecommunications that receiving unit 141 is sent to by transmitting element 143 is included by 141 received signal of receiving unit Number(Internal signal)With the electric signal that receiving unit 141 is sent to by electronic pen 200(External signal).Receiving unit 141 can be single It solely receives internal signal and external signal or two signals can be received together from transmitting element 143 and electronic pen 200.
Controller 160 by by the intensity of 141 received signal of receiving unit compared with the intensity of internal signal (420).When the intensity of received signal is less than the intensity of internal signal, controller 160 identifies finger touch input 310 and examines Survey input coordinate (427).In contrast, when the intensity of received signal is more than the intensity of internal signal, controller 160 identifies Electronic pen input 320 simultaneously detects input coordinate(430).
Fig. 2 shows the configuration that receiving unit 141 and transmitting element 143 are arranged with line type.Selectively, from transmitting element 143 signals sent can be received by a plurality of sense wire by receiving unit 141.In this case, receiving unit 141 can pass through The signal sent by a plurality of sense wire selectively or is sequentially detected using switch.In addition, by wave filter 150, send Unit 143, which can only send desired frequency signal or receiving unit 141, can only receive desired frequency signal.Meanwhile when connecing When receipts unit 141 detects the signal of specific position, receiving unit 141 can be set around the specific position for detecting signal Adjacent domain.Receiving unit 141 can be also distinguished respectively outside operation and the adjacent domain of the signal detection inside adjacent domain The operation of signal detection.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B are showing for the adjacent domain for the setting input position for showing exemplary embodiment according to the present invention Figure.Fig. 6 is the signal detection inside the adjacent domain for showing exemplary embodiment according to the present invention and outside adjacent domain The flow chart of operation.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B show a plurality of pickup wire horizontally and vertically arranged.Every pickup wire can be by switching and filtering Ripple device is connected to receiving unit 141 and transmitting element 143.As shown in the figure, the pickup wire of transverse axis is expressed as R0 to R9, the longitudinal axis Pickup wire is expressed as C0 to C9.Here, suppose that the quantity of pickup wire horizontally and vertically is 10, but it is without being limited thereto.
With reference to Fig. 6, controller 160 determines whether to detect input position (610).Even if in multiple position detections to defeated Enter, in proximity detection place, among position that also can be by detecting signal close to the position at midpoint or by detecting The position of signal with most intensity determines input position.For example, controller can determine in the pickup wire with transverse axis R6 510 are put accordingly with the pickup wire of longitudinal axis C5 to input.In this case, as shown in Figure 5A, point 510 is represented by (R6, C5).
When detecting input position, controller 160 sets the adjacent domain (620) around input position.It is for example, neighbouring Adjacent domain can be respectively set in two pickup wires of input position.That is, with the pickup wire of transverse axis R4 to R8 and vertical The corresponding region of pickup wire of axis C3 to C7 may be configured as adjacent domain.As exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 5 A show Go out the adjacent domain 520 of input position 510.
Simultaneously, it is contemplated that the moving direction of input position determines adjacent domain.For example, as shown in Figure 5 B, it can be according to defeated The moving direction for entering position sets wider adjacent domain 550.Once controller determines to input in point 510, then can be not Be point 510 another place detect input.In this case, it is contemplated that previously detection and next detection determine input position Direction.Fig. 5 B show that controller determines(R5, C6)New input position occurs.If new input position is point 530, User's input is moved to a little 530 from point 510.In this case, according to from point 510 to point 530 direction, when as shown in Figure 5 B During the adjacent domain of set-point 530, controller can set 540 broader adjacent domain 550 of neighbour near field.That is, without considering In the case of moving direction, adjacent domain can be adjacent to two pickup wires of input position.On the other hand, considering to move In the case of the mobile route of dynamic direction or estimation, adjacent domain can be adjacent to three pickup wires of input position.Figure 5B shown in the case of the moving direction without considering input position, the adjacent domain 540 of controller set-point 530.Fig. 5 B show Go out in the case where considering the mobile route of estimation of input position, the adjacent domain 550 of controller set-point 530.Fig. 5 B show Go out increases an other pickup wire for the moving direction of input position, but without being limited thereto.For example, two can be increased separately Outer pickup wire.It meanwhile can placement sensor line in this way:Positioned at the opposite side of the moving direction of input position The quantity of pickup wire can reduce.
When there is provided after adjacent domain, controller 160, which can be directed to inside adjacent domain, increases detection frequency (630).For example, When touch sensor 145 includes a plurality of sense wire, the sense period of the sense wire inside adjacent domain can be reduced.Therefore, may be used Increase the detection speed of input position inside adjacent domain.
Controller 160, which can be directed to outside adjacent domain, reduces detection frequency (640).For example, when touch sensor 145 includes During a plurality of sense wire, the sense period or selectively of sense wire outside adjacent domain can be increased, can be omitted outside adjacent domain The sensing of some sense wires in portion.For example, in the state of adjacent domain is not provided with, input can be detected in this way: All sense wires are detected once, and subsequent all sense wires are detected again.In this case, set adjacent domain it Afterwards, input can be detected in this way:After all sense wires inside adjacent domain are detected three times, adjacent domain External sense wire is detected once.Omitting the sensing of some sense wires outside adjacent domain may include:It only senses neighbouring A line in two lines.Meanwhile when there are two or more inputs being not adjacent to each other, except each input position Remaining area outside adjacent domain inside can be confirmed as outside adjacent domain.
Controller can detect input as described above until detecting the change of input position based on default adjacent domain. Controller can increase the inside and outside detection frequency of adjacent domain respectively.Controller again determines whether to disappear in the predetermined time Input position (650) is detected afterwards.In this case, when input position is not detected, controller is there is no neighbouring Cancel the setting of adjacent domain in the state of region and detect input position (660).On the other hand, when detecting input position When, controller can determine whether input position changes (670).When input position does not change, performed based on default adjacent domain Sensing.On the other hand, when input position changes, adjacent domain is set based on new input position, and based on newly-installed Adjacent domain detects input position.
